Lord of War

There are five pieces of land in the uppermost layer of the floating island.

Each of the five continents has a person in charge, who is also a guardian in name.

Like Babylon and Jibril, they are the masters of Babylon's Tower of Magic and Jibril's Great Library respectively. In addition, Black and White Holy Land and Floating Holy Academy each have their own guardians.

But what is really special is the floating meeting hall.

Although there are senators elected through elections to conduct discussions here, there is actually a chairman of the Senate who has the general decision-making power over all deliberations in the entire chamber and the right to appoint and remove all senators. However, the Chairman of the General Senate has not shown up for nearly five hundred years, so many people of the new generation of floating islands have long forgotten the existence of the Chairman of the General Senate—maybe some people remember it, but they don’t take it seriously anymore .

At this time, in the lobby of the conference hall, all the 122 senators had attended the stepped circular seats.

In the chamber, there is no distinction between high and low ranks of senators, and everyone has an equal status—of course, personal influence and charm are not things that cannot be controlled by status. The 122 people in this chamber belong to six different factions, and according to the differences in the factions' core concepts and codes of conduct, these factions also have interests such as political enemies and alliances. —On the surface, it seems that there is no difference from the land boundary.

Of course, unlike the situation in the land that has really experienced bloody and cruel baptism, these political factions on the floating island have no idea or concept of "conspiracy" at all.

Even the two factions that have been seriously at odds with each other don't know what assassination or framing is at all. At best, they do some farces such as mocking each other, which in the eyes of local people is like a child playing house wine.

But today, the atmosphere in the chamber seems to be a little different.

In the stepped circular arena, all the senators were silent and solemn, because the news from the front was not very pleasant.

All the small floating islands on the lowest sequence layer have fallen into a stalemate in the battle, especially the battle on the Qiufeng Plain.

Somia, who had already formed a comprehensive suppression and was about to pick the fruits of victory, was ambushed in a big battle, causing the command of the entire legion to be sniped, resulting in a large-scale defeat. Although it is not enough to wipe out the entire army, it is basically unable to control the situation on the Qiufeng Plain again-this kind of war is the real war that turns the world around.

And then, the Qiufeng Plain, which was originally under control, was completely conquered by Budales within two days.

Somia can only retreat to the defensive base built with the teleportation array as the core to resist Budales' attack. But even with the convenient location, the defensive battle was extremely difficult after all, and this was achieved by continuously sending reinforcements to maintain the situation. And up to now, all the senators in the meeting hall also clearly understand the fact that if they give up continuing to increase troops, I am afraid that the Qiufeng Plain will soon fall.

At that time, the other eight floating islands in the lowest sequence around the autumn maple plain as the relay point will be completely disconnected.

Among them is the land of Qingyuan, which is now sending back another bad news-this is located at the bottom of the entire floating island, it is the land closest to the boundary, and it is also the only passage for the floating island to transport people to the boundary where. It's just that after the previous big failure,

This passage was blocked. Originally, Levi and Alisa should have restarted this passage when they went to the boundary, but they were thrown directly to the boundary by Jibril, so in fact this passage was not opened. .

However, only the 122 councilors in the chamber know about this matter, and the other floating islanders do not know these secrets.

"The current situation is already obvious." A middle-aged man wearing a purple flame badge on his chest said suddenly, his voice broke the silence in the entire conference hall, and also slightly dispersed the lingering With a stagnant and silent breath, "Dubrys and Locke are not dead. Although we don't know what happened to them during the years when they disappeared, there is no doubt that they have betrayed us."

"It's useless to say these things. The key now is to find out what they want to do." On the other side, a middle-aged man with a green leaf mark on his chest said, "It's obvious now that it's all of this. It must be Budales' trick. And he appeared in the Qiufeng Plain and launched such a strong offensive posture, obviously to cut off our connection with other lower lands."

The twenty-four floating islands located at the bottom of the floating island, although each one has a teleportation array, actually cannot carry out ultra-long-distance teleportation when teleporting, and can only carry out two to three pieces of land apart. send. But even so, in fact, these floating islands have three central teleportation points that exist as relay points. These three central points are the three floating islands closest to the third sequence layer.

And one of them is the floating island called "Autumn Maple Plain".

All the surrounding floating islands that take the Autumn Maple Plain as the relay point must eventually converge to the Autumn Maple Plain when teleporting, and then they can enter the floating island of the third sequence layer through the Autumn Maple Plain. So once the Qiufeng Plain is under control, it means that the floating island will lose the entire area, and it will not be easy to counterattack and get back these areas.

"Now that everyone is clear, what else is there to say?" Another senator said. "I think we should continue to send heavy troops to reinforce the Autumn Maple Plain.... In any case, we must stabilize the battle in the Autumn Maple Plain, and we must not let the teleportation base of the Autumn Maple Plain be taken away."

"I object." Just as the senator finished speaking, someone spoke directly.

His voice was very deep, revealing a chilling aura, and his voice was like the cold wind of cold winter, instantly chilling the temperature in the entire meeting hall.

This is a man wearing a black mask.

The mask only covered the upper half of his face, and the exposed lips were slightly thinner at the back, and the appearance of pursing his lips was particularly fierce.

Slightly different from the costumes worn by other senators, this man is wearing a set of black clothes, and even the cloak is dark black. And all the senators sitting near him were all dressed in dark black, giving people the feeling of a bottomless abyss. And their badge is just a blood-red badge, and nothing else.

Dark blood faction.

One of the six major factions in the chamber, occupying a heavy voice in the chamber. Although there are not many members of the faction, this does not mean that the faction is weak, on the contrary, it is a bit ridiculously strong, because the senators who want to join this faction must have certain personal strength, and must have been trained in the academy. The captain of the team, and has at least five records of ensuring the safe return of all members from the Black and White Holy Land.

It is these elite standards that make the dark blood faction have the smallest number of people, but it has a lot of voice and influence.

And the seemingly young man who spoke is the current leader of this faction.

"Galad, what do you mean?" The middle-aged man who had said before that he wanted to reinforce the Autumn Maple Plain asked, frowning, "Do you want us to abandon the Autumn Maple Plain and all the floating islands? ...When did Dark Blood become so cowardly!"

The young man named Garrard glanced sideways at the middle-aged man, and the cold eyes made him shiver involuntarily. Although there was a little more fear in his eyes, he still held his head up and tried to make a move. A fearless look on his face. However, other people in the chamber did not pay much attention to the man's reaction and appearance, because it was already well known that the two factions of Withered Vine and Dark Blood were at odds with each other.

The Dry Vine Sect, as one of the six major factions in the council hall, has not the largest number of members, but it is not the least either. If they are ranked in order of number, the Dry Vine Sect may be ranked third. However, in terms of influence, the Dry Vine School can be said to be the lowest. Even if one or two very constructive and practical opinions can be put forward occasionally, it will often be delayed for a long time before being passed.

The reason is very simple. The core political idea of ​​the Kuteng School is to shrink back tactics, advocating a harmonious mentality of no war, no contention, and no seizure.

This time, to fully support the war strategy of the Dark Blood Faction has already made many people feel unbelievable—in fact, the strategy of a full-scale attack on the floating island was first proposed by the Dark Blood Faction. The first vote was not passed, and it was precisely because of this that the event that the lower floating island was fully occupied occurred. Only at this time did the chamber realize the seriousness of the problem, and the second emergency meeting began.

As a result, it was the Dark Blood Faction who obtained the support of Withered Vine, Purple Fire, and Oran Knights to make this attack.

But unexpectedly, the result was still very imperfect—if Budales and Locke hadn't appeared, perhaps all the lower floating islands should have been recovered in their entirety. But at this moment, the Withered Vine faction continued to insist on the offensive choice, which was once again beyond everyone's expectations—it's a pity that the Withered vine faction's approach and the Dark Blood faction's conception have run counter to each other .

"I think we should change our tactics." Garrard ignored the member of the Withered Vine faction, but continued to say in a deep voice, "On the premise of ensuring that the Qiufeng Plain will not be captured, the Qingyuan land Large-scale reinforcements... We must resolve the danger from Locke as soon as possible, and then use the Qingyuan Land as a counterattack base, and counterattack upwards until we meet with Somia in the Autumn Maple Plain."

Following Garrard's words, people from many factions around him also started whispering discussions. It's just that because there were a little more people present, the whispers gradually became a little noisy.

"Idiots talking about dreams!" As the voice became a little noisy, the members of the Withered Vine faction had to increase their voices, "The current situation in the Qiufeng Plain, how long do you think Suomiya can hold on?...The current situation is that, Somia simply can't hold on for too long, and...if I remember correctly, Lord Garrard, your tactical score back then seems to be worse than Somia's, right?"

"I'm indeed not as good as Somia, but have you forgotten that the tactical course is a comprehensive course, and there are detailed distinctions inside?" Garrard asked tit-for-tat, "Oh, sorry, I forgot... Your Excellency Pace almost failed to graduate back then. But it’s really ironic that someone like you can become a senator and the leader of a faction.”

"This proves that I'm talented in other areas!" The middle-aged man from the Withered Vine Sect blushed and shouted. He saw other members of the Withered Vine Sect lower their heads a little, which made his expression even uglier. "Galad, I doubt your intentions! If the Autumn Maple Plain is captured, have you ever thought about what kind of situation the other floating islands with the Autumn Maple Plain as the pivot point will fall into? Those What will happen to those who fight on these floating islands!?"

"I have thought about it." Garrard said lightly, "It is precisely because I have thought about it that I think that Locke should be dealt with first. ... And the most important thing is that Levi and Alisa have returned, However, according to intelligence, these two people seem to be in a coma now, I think our top priority is to bring these two people back first and give them medical treatment.... As long as the two of them wake up, the war will be in our favor."

Hearing Garrard's words, the noise in the meeting hall became obviously louder.

There is a very obvious fault differentiation in the level of strength of the floating island, that is, there are not too many legendary powerhouses on the mainland of the floating island, and the ones with the highest strength are the upper saints like Levi and Alisa. domain strong. Because people who can become legendary powerhouses are not too happy to be entangled in trivial matters, basically they will go out to find opportunities to break through to a higher level. After all, after feeling the glory brought by power and having a different understanding of the world, few people would be willing to stop here.

And the floating island happens to have a unique place - the black and white holy land, so almost all the real strong who become legends will go to different planes for training through the black and white holy land, and even open up new planes. During this process, some of them unfortunately died, and some of them successfully broke through to a higher level. Of course, more of them completely lost contact with the floating library.

No matter what the result is, there is no doubt that the person with the highest level of strength in this world is the upper sanctuary powerhouse above the Great Floating Library. As for the top powerhouses known as guardians like Jibril and Babylon, it is naturally impossible to appear in front of people at will—but in recent decades, more and more legendary powerhouses have returned from the Black and White Holy Land, Then settled in Babylon's Tongtian Magic Tower, which is why Babylon's Tongtian Magic Tower began to dominate.

From this point, we can see the tension between the Chamber of Commerce and the Babylon Tongtian Magic Tower.

It is clear that among the rebels who caused the rebellion this time, Locke is known to be the most powerful at present, but no one in the meeting room thought of looking for the legendary strong man in the Tongtian Magic Tower, but would rather waste time arguing here.

"I object!" It was still the middle-aged man from the Kuteng faction who shouted.

But this time, for some unknown reason, after the middle-aged man opened his mouth, two people also spoke against him one after another. These two people were none other than the leaders of the Purple Fire faction and the Oran Knight faction who had supported Garrard before. Basically, since a faction leader spoke up, the will of the entire faction was basically affirmed.

As the three factions that once supported the Dark Blood Faction's war all opposed it, then the other two factions that have always opposed the Dark Blood Faction's attack are naturally impossible to support.

Garrard looked at the five leaders of their respective factions who had already stated their voting attitudes, and his eyes became unusually cold.

"Since the decision to support the Qingyuan land first has been opposed, what do you think about the decision to heavily support the Qiufeng Plain?" It was still the middle-aged man from the Kuteng faction who spoke. It seemed that it was the first time that I truly experienced the feeling of power in my hands, "If everyone has no objections, then we will deploy the defense of Qiufeng Plain..."

"Wait a minute." At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded in the meeting hall, but it revealed boundless majesty.

As if the voice was thunder, the entire conference hall trembled for a moment.

Everyone looked towards the middle of the meeting room - there were no chairs there, but there was a small table similar to a platform. In the past five hundred years, this platform has been empty, so that everyone has forgotten the significance of this platform. But at this moment, when everyone's eyes fell on this platform and looked at the figure who appeared on the platform at an unknown time, the memory from the depths of their minds suddenly revived.

Everyone remembered a name.

Asali Nars!

The Chairman of the General Senate of the floating chamber!

He is also the founder and guardian of the Floating Chamber!

"See Mr. Asali." Almost all the senators got up at this moment, and no one dared to sit still.

Asali nodded slightly, his expression was very calm, he glanced thoughtfully at the leader of the Withered Vine Sect, his face turned extremely pale with just one glance. But Asali didn't say anything, but quickly turned his head to look at Garrard, and said softly: "I've heard about the matter, and your decision is good, just follow what you said.  …But I hope you can bring Alisa and Levi back as soon as possible, and besides that, there is another distinguished guest that I hope you can bring back along the way."

"Guest?" Garrard was taken aback for a moment.

In fact, not only Garrard, but everyone in the entire conference hall was stunned.

"He is in Qingyuan Land, you will know when you go." Asali said in a deep voice, "I hope you can leave as soon as possible. If there is any accident with this distinguished guest, then something very terrible will happen."
